David Beard
David Beard is an Exercise Physiologist with Post Graduate qualifications from University of Western Australia, a Masters Degree from University of Arizona and a Graduate Diploma of Business from Edith Cowan University. Having grown up in country Western Australia he has lived most of his adult life in Perth.
David started his career with the Hospital Benefit Fund of WA in their Health Management Division and helped establish their preventative health programs for corporate and community clients. He was one of the first health and fitness specialists to work in the Aged Care industry where he changed the perspective of many people of the need for exercise by our ‘older’ citizens.
David has worked as a Human Resources Professional for many years, charged with establishing an HR Department in a large and growing organisation. David has been a management and business coach for over 3 years so he knows all too well the real challenges faced by individuals in business and corporate Australia.
David is also passionately aware of the need to be in an ‘optimal’ state much of the time. He juggles a busy work and family schedule with his own health and fitness program, so he understands the practicalities of balancing work and well-being. David is excellently placed to inform, entertain and stimulate people to make changes that positively impact on their performance.
David presents in a light-hearted yet informative style. Not only does he help participants understand their own chemical profile, he gives practical and insightful tips that allow participants to optimise their body chemistry. David Beard is a professional who believes that taking simple steps to balance our body chemistry can dramatically change our effectiveness and ability to cope with a world in which we are continually being asked to do more with less.
